    Highlights from the 1964 title bout between Muhammad Ali (known then as Cassius Clay) and Sonny Liston. Ali became heavyweight champion upsetting Liston by tiring him out and causing him to quit on his stool at the start of the seventh round. Ali's defensive skills and head movement were unbelievable in this fight as he dodged almost everything Liston threw at him.
    “He wanted to go to heaven, so I took him in seven”
    - Muhammad Ali

    I listened to this fight on the radio with my dad when I was 8 years old. My pops was a huge fight fan. Man,
    seems like yesterday a lil wide eyed kid heard Clay screaming. Then I grew to love him, we went to close circuit
    fights vs Frazier One and Foreman. Probably the best bonding moments I ever had with the old man.
    RIP Muhammad and Pops.

      Out of desperation, Liston's corner put some kind of irritant on his gloves before the 5th round, and it got in Ali's eyes and temporarily blinded him. He wanted to quit between rounds, but Dundee talked him out of it, and flooded his eyes with water to try to clear them. He was slipping punches that he couldn't even see clearly.

      ​@@tigertruthAgreed, this is all speculation. Actually, my assessment based on a few things. First the advanced age of Liston, secondly the fact that he was carrying injury. But one important thing is that the great Manny Steward felt that a younger and injury free Liston would have won against Ali. Of course, one can't be fully sure. I just felt that the resume of Liston, the intimidation, his reach advantage, size of his fists combined with the assessment of Manny Steward, might mean that Liston would have won. But most of the greats of Boxing feel that Ali was the best. So, it's all hypothetical.

Ali had the best ever chin in boxing history, and because of that chin he suffered from Parkinson’s in his 30’s. He is the most confident boxer to have ever lived. I believe you put any boxer in the ring with Ali, and they fight until one falls down, Ali beats every boxer in history and is always the one to remain standing. There’s a reason Mike Tyson cries every time he speaks about Ali, because Ali was special, cut from a different cloth.

      @@RD-kh3xt You are a student of the game, unlike amateurish observer @john harris who simply wears his emotions on his sleeve shirt -- he never gets tired of singing his recurrent refrain of "5 losses". Ali's "losses" included the close but unanimous decision by Frazier that wasn't decided until the 15th round left hook knockdown. Then followed the split decision wins by Ken Norton and Leon Spinks. Then the ill-advised comeback challenge, at 38, versus heavyweight champion, all-time great and prime Larry Holmes. Then the swang song versus journeyman Trevor Berbick at almost the age of 40.
      A little correction, however. Officially Ali suffered a technical knockout loss as he quit on his stool against Holmes in 1980. But you are right, he was never really knocked OUT throughout his career courtesy of a chin of steel God endowed him with. No amount of training can make a difference to any fighter's jaw because either you are born with it or you don't have it, period. 'nuff said.

    What absolutely amazes me is that I heard a few prominent boxing enthusiasts who think that the first Liston - Clay fight was close (some even say “pretty even”) before Sonny quit on his stool in round seven. Makes me truly wonder what fight they actually watched. Liston arguably only won one round (round five when Clay was near-blind, and even THEN it was still MAYBE a 10-9 round for Sonny). Clay really beat Sonny like he stole something.

      @@TTundragrizzlySo you're implying that Frazier "destroyed Ali"?! You cannot lie to an astute watcher of the game like yours truly.
      In their first fight in 1971 after years of forced layoff on account of refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War, a rusty Ali went toe to toe against prime, reigning champion [by default] Joe Frazier. The fight was decided by Frazier's famous left hook that briefly dropped Ali in round 15.
      In their second fight, with each not being a reigning champion, Ali had Frazier in trouble late in the 2nd round when referee Tony Perez inexplicably intervened claiming that he thought the bell rang. This man seemed to have a personal beef with Ali who called him "a Puerto Rican thinking he was White" when he failed to penalize Chuck Wepner for his several rabbit punches in his title fight with Ali in 1975.
      Everybody knows what happened in the 3rd of the trilogy in the "Thrilla in Manilla" when Frazier, despite being ready to die to regain his title with both eyes shut, was forced to quit on his stool by his corner men -- a TKO in round 14.
      So how and where did Frazier "destroy Ali"?
      As for prime Tyson, Ali would whether the early storm and fury a la journeyman Buster Douglas, take him deep into rounds 8 to 10 and get him out of there by exhaustion. TKO round 10. 'nuff said.
